- Register your app at: http://dev.twitter.com/apps/new (Be sure to set it up as Read & Write!)
- Update the Setup area of rss2twitter.php
- This includes consumerKey,consumerToken,oAuthToken,oAuthTokenSecret from dev.twitter, RSS feed URL, and Cache directory (optional)
- Authorize your domain for the application on dev.twitter
- To setup a test you can always add localhost
- Make the /cache/ directory writable or change its location
- Copy to your server.
- Set up cron job. Example: /usr/local/php5/bin/php /path/to/script/rss2twitter.php
That’s it!
